This December, SlatteryIT is holding a series of Funding Connect events across four states - Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide - to enable a greater understanding of the ins and outs of funding, as well as providing an excellent opportunity for networking.

Specifically designed to allow attendees to gain an insight into the processes of securing funding, guests will have the opportunity to meet investors, learn how to find the right investment sources and to win their support. Leading entrepreneurs will also be on hand to offer inspiration on growing your business and the best ways to seek capital.

The events will be followed by Entrepreneur Resolutions, which will look at what the top entrepreneurs are aiming for in the New Year, and how they plan to get there. Attendees will get a peek at the market outlook ahead as well as plenty of time for questions and networking.

Funding Connect will help you to make informed decisions about everything from when to seek an investor, to meeting, attracting and obtaining financial support, providing a wealth of information/advice to help focus your plans for 2009.
